Why does Risk of Rain have so much soul?

I feel like RoR2 lost something with cutting the platforms and ropes that RoR1 had.
I can understand why Hotpoo would drop them, seeing as how it could be hard to come up with a clean way to have them in a 3d environment alongside cleanly implementing them.

I found it horrendous. How do people like procedurally generated levels? They all end up feeling the same with shit sense of stage progression and no surprise.

I think hopoo tried to replace them with the jump-pad things. It's not the same because ropes gave you a bit of control on your ascent and jump pads are a bit mundane

wow you're retarded

>procedurally created
uuh...?

Holy fuck, I thought they were procedurally generated. Instead they're just selected randomly? That's even worse. They were so fucking uninspiring and bland to get through I thought for sure it was all procedurally generated.

host when?

ok, real talk now:
there is only one melee char in ror2 right now, so the next survivor being melee is more or less a given. but will it be aids dog? or cheffe? or miner? or some bullshit walking plant again? or maybe big tiddy lemurian (female)?

Hopoo said that creating melee character is hard, that's why he is in he files but not i the main game. Bandit is considered to be boring. Next melee survivor will be Fireman

I'm not sure. I know nothing of hopoo, or his partner's, or Chris Christoodlooo's gaming history, but Risk of Rain is real fucking good video gaming. Game drips in fucking atmosphere, the visuals are incredibly pleasing, the music is stellar, and the gameplay is wonderful. Snaked its way into my favorites of all time. RoR2 is well on its way. Not there yet.
It's ridiculous. He is so satisfying to play as with Banditplus. Stealthing in and out of danger, stunning a group with a bomb, popping off headshots to refill your stealth and disappear, RAPID fucking fire shooting. It all comes together to make a satisfying gameplay loop. He's fucking 90% done and hopoo's just sitting on him.

>20 posters, 30 posts

>bandit
>boring
What the fuck, he's more fun than the entire current cast. Except Merc, can't beat Merc.

They will need to come up with new skills to replace his grenade and rapid fire. Too much overlap with Commando/Mul-T. He doesn't feel unique. I agree with Hopoo, the only fun thing about him is stealth.

i honestly don't see how he could say that when there's commando in the game. i mean is commando is basic and honestly doesn't have much unique stuff going for him but that doesn't mean that he isn't fun to play.

host WHEN?

That's where you're wrong, user. Commando's gameplay loop is hold M1 and hold M2 because M2 has a good proc rate, deals more damage instantly than double tap, pierces enemies and walls, and resets your recoil. It's braindead. Occasionally you hit R to stun a golem from lasering your asshole.

MUL-T is the minigun guy of the game, (although the sound of his nailgun is ass). His loop is similar to Bandit's, but it's the SHIFT and M2/secondary that sets them both apart in feel and gameplay. On the surface, both Bandit and MUL-T use headshot and the railgun to dispatch wisps with ease. After a while, however, MUL-T's railgun loses its luster in favor of the enormous DPS of the nailgun. Spray, stun, roll out of danger.

Bandit's headshot resets all your cooldowns, allowing you stay completely engaged in the moment. It's just as the webm in this thread shows. Fire at an enemy, get them down to low, headshot to reset your M1 and continue firing. Alternatively, you can go invisible and reappear behind a golem, stunning him, unloading your M1, grenading him, and then headshotting him to reset everything, allowing you to go invisible again. Between Commando, MUL-T, and Bandit, Bandit has the most active gameplay loop. He's a joy to play.

I bought it during the sale, anybody got some item and character tier list?

just play it
it isn't that hard to figure out

Everything's up in the air since EA, but I'll give you a rough cut with my 210 hours:
ELDER GOD TIER:
Mercenary (when his bug is fixed)

TOP TIER:
Rex
Mercenary (as he is now)
MUL-T
Huntress

MID TIER:
Artificer
Commando

Sticky bomb nerf damaged Commando's late game prowess. He has an extremely high proc rate, otherwise, but not enough to be in top tier with the current item pool.

Artificer has high damage in the beginning, but I still can't get her to keep up with the other characters during multiplayer Monsoon. Perhaps someone else can chime in; she's probably my least played character.

Huntress' glaive paired with Backup Mags makes mincemeat of absolutely everything. She has a ridiculous late game.

MUL-T has the most base health, has inherent armor when using his utility skill, can carry two equipment items, and has short and long range engagement capability. 'Nuff said.

Mercenary is the most fun to play as. Zipping around pretending to be Dante or Vergil. He has a bug with his dash where if you miss the second or third followup, you must wait 14 seconds to use it again. He will be my most played character when that is fixed. His dash is an instant stunner of enemies, allowing your teammates to dole out damage while they're stunned.

Rex has insanely high DPS and an infinite range with both his flower and mortar. It's a lot of fun to get a horde of many only to wrangle them together and you and your teammates lay the smackdown. He is ALWAYS welcome in multiplayer due to his pseudo Primordial Cubeness.

>I agree with Hopoo, the only fun thing about him is stealth.
I disagree, the shoot as fast as you can click gun is fun as fuck.
So is the M2, probably the most satisfying ability in the game in my opinion.

I don't think Hopoo should just go "lol its boring" when there are clearly plenty of people who enjoy his gameplay. Just slap on an R ability and release him, honestly shouldn't take much out of the dev time.

Oh and Bandit is top tier:

I understand that the gameplay loop is different, but the functionality of individual skills is identical and that's a huge problem. That overlap absolutely makes him feel less fleshed out than he could be.

It's fun to play, but it could be better. Don't settle for "this is good already, ship it", consider how much better it could be with more work.

>MID TIER:
>Artificer
Bro you don't even know

Explain how there's an overlap. Which other character can shoot as fast as you can click, at the cost of accuracy?
Which other character has an ability that lets them reset their cds?
Which other character has a stealth?

>I don't think Hopoo should just go "lol its boring" when there are clearly plenty of people who enjoy his gameplay.
He absolutely should, though. It's literally, like, half a dozen Yea Forumsirgins who hacked the game to play him. This game has tens of thousands of players, user. Do you sincerely think he should attempt to cater to every single autist in this thread who likes Bandit?

The core of what's fun about the kit is the stealth/CD reset, just like in RoR1. The rest of his abilities are dull and overlap with existing abilities.

>Explain how there's an overlap.
I already did, please read. Stun grenade = Mul-T, rapid fire = Commando. As I said above, his stealth/CD reset are unique and fun, but that's the core of why his kit is fun. As long as those remain constant, his other abilities can literally be anything else at all and he will remain fun.

Guys, bandit is out, just accept it. They want to try new more interesting ways to play the game, bandit was an old boring character.
I mean compare him to rex and you'll see why he won't get in.

>but the functionality of individual skills is identical and that's a huge problem
That's where you're wrong, again, user. Nobody fires on a golem with MUL-T's nailgun and then switches to the railgun to reset the cooldowns of their abilities, one of which allows you to stun enemies upon its running out. He outright has more engaging moment-to-moment gameplay in his unfinished, modded state than MUL-T's official state.
>As long as those remain constant, his other abilities can literally be anything else at all and he will remain fun.
Now that I can get behind.

Tf2 spy crossover character please hopoo

>Stun grenade = Mul-T
Doesn't have that outside of a mod
>rapid fire = Commando
Literally not even close to the same, are you baiting?

His stealth is probably the LEAST fun ability of his kit.

>Now that I can get behind.
Actually, no, I take it back. I've been playing Bandit nonstop with that mod and I can't get over how much more fun I'm having than with MUL-T or Commando. Give him an R, and call it a day. Not everyone NEEDS to be like Rex in terms of being so outside the norm.

>infinite range with both his flower and mortar
actually the mortar has a max range. if you're a coward like me you'll discover this quickly.

>Not everyone NEEDS to be like Rex in terms of being so outside the norm.
I really hope Hopoo realizes this.
There is nothing wrong with "human with gun" archetype, you can make plenty of entirely different playstyles with that.
Usually those my favorite.

Just how cowardly are you being? During Abyssal Depths I'm always shooting shit from across the map.

>That's where you're wrong, again, user.
I think I'm not being clear enough. I'm not saying ALL of his abilities have overlap, my first post about Bandit itt specifically cited the stun grenade and rapid fire.
Unironically, a high damage melee attack would be extremely fun. A potent boss shredder that does increased damage when used from stealth. Would heavily reward players who are skilled with headshots since they'll be resetting CDs a bunch.
>Doesn't have that outside of a mod
Damn, it's almost like the character is incomplete or something.
>Literally not even close to the same, are you baiting?
It's fundamentally the same thing, user. Mechanically, yes, it's not the same, but it's the exact same concept fundamentally in the sense that, any time you use Commando's rapid fire, you'd also use Bandit's rapid fire.
He wouldn't need to be "outside the norm" by giving him a more interesting R than a stun grenade. Also, having more fun with a char than Mul-T or Commando isn't saying much, those retards are so boring.

BANDIT IS GONE

youtu.be/LDU_Txk06tM

>Damn, it's almost like the character is incomplete or something.
...which is why I'm saying he SHOULD be completed, because the rest of his kit is great.
>It's fundamentally the same thing, user. Mechanically, yes, it's not the same, but it's the exact same concept fundamentally in the sense that, any time you use Commando's rapid fire, you'd also use Bandit's rapid fire.
Now you're just saying that every hitscan weapon is the same, please tell me you're baiting.

>Also, having more fun with a char than Mul-T or Commando isn't saying much, those retards are so boring.
then why does hopoo consider bandit too boring for the game

>soul
Because you're retarded, user.

I like to run off on my own and get bored waiting for spawns so I'll go for extreme long shots

I'm with you on MUL-T being boring. Dunno how people can stand holding M1 with that sewing machine of a nailgun noise. Commando was fun before the update when he could proc everything under the sun.
> I'm not saying ALL of his abilities have overlap, my first post about Bandit itt specifically cited the stun grenade and rapid fire
Ehh we'll just have to agree to disagree. It's a different mindset. You have to use headshot at the right moment to continue your rapid fire onslaught. You don't have to do that with Commando, you don't have to with MUL-T. That, combined with stealthing in and out of the action, is enough for me. Not enough for hopoo, I guess, in which case I say again:
>Not everyone NEEDS to be like Rex in terms of being so outside the norm.

the first game had jump pads too
desu I don't mind the lack of ropes so much
There isn't as much verticality in RoR2, and most of what there is can be got around with clever, totally intended, shortcuts

rex is shit, SHIT

>...which is why I'm saying he SHOULD be completed
I agree with this. I disagree with anons who are talking about Bandit like he's already finished and should just be wrapped up and shipped.
>Now you're just saying that every hitscan weapon is the same, please tell me you're baiting.
No? Consider how you use Mul-T's nailgun vs rebar and tell me that my argument applies to them as well.
I think they're pretty swept up in the idea of adding more alien/magical characters, but Commando/Mul-T are already in the game and they can't just take them out and replace them. I'm willing to bet they aren't really happy with how Commando or Mul-T play/look/are designed. Skills 2.0 tells me they aren't happy with basically any class except maybe Merc or Huntress.
>It's a different mindset. You have to use headshot at the right moment to continue your rapid fire onslaught. You don't have to do that with Commando, you don't have to with MUL-T.
I totally see what you mean, but again, I feel like this is just "the stealth/CD mechanic is fun as fuck" hard carrying Bandit's kit. From my experience playing him, that's my takeaway. I'd prefer pretty much anything else in those slots, that way Bandit could be even more fun and unique than he already is. I imagine shit like a smoke grenade, or a lock-on attack that dashes you into an enemy and melees them for huge single target DoT, something fun like that.

I'd be happy with Bandit being dropped in for free as he is, but I just want to convince people that Hopoo isn't sitting on him out of laziness. He sincerely feels incomplete to me, and he probably feels incomplete to them too.

Huntress is the new Commando in terms of proccing everything and everyone with enough mags.

wow just like every other character except without those downsides

Oh I could probably beat him, but I wanna do it in one loop for that dumb teleporter item.

So what youre saying is that despite the downside hes just as good as any other character?

That's one of my prime worries, though. I'd be completely happy with a bunch of human survivors with a few oddities. I don't need a magical cast of characters. RoR1 is gritty sci-fi with a bumping OST. RoR2 is shaping up to be fantastical sci-fi. I don't want Overwatch of Rain 2.

I think it's a stretch to say Commando can "win" at anything after this most recent patch.
Same, I always played the humans the most in RoR1. I played Acrid a bit, but other than that, all I played was Merc/Sniper/Bandit. I'm pretty bummed by the change in direction, but I understand it from the perspective of a game dev; it makes sense that the art designer would get bored of just making people with guns and wants to branch out a bit and have some more fun, and it makes sense that Hopoo is sick of designing characters who have to operate under the restriction of being a humanoid.

As long as, like, half of the cast ends up being humans by launch, I'll be happy.

What I know is, the enemy AI has a really hard time hitting things that are slowly falling out of the air
I watched as my undergeared friend very slowly cleared the boss wave by himself on stage 8 by jumping off the top of the map and slowly falling down, occasionally activating Chrysalis to get his height back
Nigga killed like 5 Imp bosses and 4 Malachite dudes
He died when he got cocky and landed

you seem appropriately perturbed friend. Id offer words of encouragement but at this point I dont even know man

There was a short-lived meta of getting Milky Chrysalis on Commando, Glass, stickies, Gestures, and staying in the air forever raining down death.

At worst there'll always be Risk of Rain to go back to.

Alright, I guess we more or less agree on that.
I just don't want his M1 and M2 to change too drastically.
>No? Consider how you use Mul-T's nailgun vs rebar and tell me that my argument applies to them as well.
But Bandit's M1 is as different as nailgun is to rebar. The fact that you can shoot as fast as you can click and have to reload it make it play entirely different to Commando's M1, who just has to hold it down without worry.

It's not that Bandit is too similar to Commando. He would be redundant with Enforcer

soul means objectively good gameplay thats put into an environment which makes your fantasy wander off into the world

>or a lock-on attack that dashes you into an enemy and melees them for huge single target DoT
that's a cool ability but it's not Bandit's thing, nor what it should be
sounds great for assassin tho

Because bandit can chain together his m2 and take out an entire army of wisps
It's high risk high reward and super fun

>The fact that you can shoot as fast as you can click and have to reload it make it play entirely different to Commando's M1, who just has to hold it down without worry.
Hold up, I was trying to say that I think the "shoot as fast as you can" rapid fire is similar to Commando pressing R, not that it's similar to Commando's M1.

Honestly though, the more I think about it, the more I'm willing to move past that. I still think it's not particularly interesting, but that's really more on the Commando's kit than Bandit's. Bandit rapid firing makes sense and feels good, Commando just hits R and it scales like shit, probably the worst R in the game.

I envisioned it as, like, an up close sucker punch, which I think a bandit would be capable of and likely to do. It could do increased damage from stealth and/or through smoke (if they gave him a smoke grenade), which would sell it as this sneak attack/ambush thing, fits a bandit alright imo.

But idk, I'm not a game designer. I just like melee abilities, this game needs more of em.

This.
Hopefully Skills 2.0 is all it's cracked up to be.

I've been playing Merc just fine, what's the bug?

>I envisioned it as, like, an up close sucker punch, which I think a bandit would be capable of and likely to do. It could do increased damage from stealth and/or through smoke (if they gave him a smoke grenade), which would sell it as this sneak attack/ambush thing, fits a bandit alright imo.
now youre just making me think they're gonna steal his stealth and slap it on assassin
which would make for a neat character, but it would only further bury bandit

bandit is easily implemented via modding, no need to take up a character slot

if you miss your last dash you get a double cool down or something like that. I dont play commando so Im not exactly sure

I've been enjoying playing with REX but other players need to understand how he works Fucking Randoms
My experience is that Rex has a powerful CC but he doesn't want to use it to actually kill things. Getting a big group of enemies all wrapped up in a safely far away spot while you use all the health regen they give you to take out bigger scary things.
Unfortunately other players see this as the perfect time to attack and try to kill as much of your healing as possible.
To counter this I suggest you try and get some meat hooks because it is fucking disgusting what meat hooks do on REX
Items that are not good on REX IMO: Backup mags, Aegis slightly surprising, Ukulele and Will o Wisp in early levels, Tesla Coil.
I had N'kuhana's Opinion on him once, was pretty good.

webm related, keep an eye on the cooldown after the missed dash.

Yeah alright, I thought you were talking about M1.
But still, I can't agree. It's a quick magdump in both situations, sure, but Bandit can choose how many bullets he shoots, plus he has to keep his reload in mind.
Commando's R, while being a similar magdump, is uncontrollable and only really used as a stun, entirely different to bandit. It's also an ability, not his standard weapon.

Clay Templars are fucking impossible with Rex. If they catch you in the open you're pretty much dead.

Now im going to fix up his skills, and add some flavour text and you will ALL be able to hard-code him in to your games when this is done!

If theres enough support in these threads I'll do the same for Han-D if i can figure out how to fix the bug making him cause every enemy to go invis, see you all soon!

Thank you for your service

bandit went from mexican to african oh nononoo

Not for nothing, user, but Banditplus is a thing:

I know this exists, however BanditPlus still needs some refinement, major props to the developer though!
I plan on making this not just for Bandit but for Han-D too, it will be both characters fully realized as intended by Hopoo.
IF I can Fix Han-Ds major issue, that is, along with alot of fine-tuning.

Don't know if you're still here but I got it mostly working but I get an error that com.bepis.r2api is missing so I can't load BanditPlus, but the files already in the config folder. I don't know why it's required when it's just the mod flag?

Curious. Here's a fresh R2API zip since the one on Thunderstore is buried.
mediafire.com/file/j7bdkqzoh8fgzqe/R2API.zip/file
Put that in the plugins folder of Bepin, same place you put the Bandit dll.

better than you, I managed to realize monsoon is in a shitty place this patch with sponge enemies

moonson is way to retarded now with the fucking buff they gave it. It's not even fun

It was like 4-5 queens and some malachite elites. The malachites took all the attention from sentries while entire place was swarmed. Took a stray hit from a fire bell and landed on the beetle.Rest of team dc/dead.

Wish there was a way to set the sentries target priority. Just like tower defense games, low health, highest health, range etc.

Desu there's merit there if you're playing as Commando. He's dogshit for Monsoon at the moment due to the sticky nerf.

What items should I focus on as Artificer? Feels like no matter what after 30 minutes I get fucked

damage like the elemental cirlce things, backup mags ofc, stickies but no more than a couple, UKULELE, and anything that gives you mobility

Speed, backup magazines, crit glasses.

RoR lost a lot of its soul going into the second game by opting for stages with more generic tropes (Grass level, fire level, snow level) and the new music reflected this
RoR had a lost in space feel, with the washed out colours and more mellow music.
RoR2 has better gameplay imo and the transition to 3D is to be commended, but the characters are probably more dull as they haven't translated well to 3D in some circumstances

>crit glasses
nah, you aren't shooting fast enough for this to be efective

I want to get more into this game but every time I try it I have a hard time seeing what's going on most of the time. Are the ant sized graphics and similar colors supposed to be part of the difficulty?

I really like Distant Roost, but Titanic Plains needs more alien structures littering the place like the gigantic half rings that loom overhead.

I agree, I like playing RoR2 more but I like looking at RoR1 more than almost any other game. Its atmosphere is near unparalleled, it's really special.

>implying crit glasses dont directly benefit every characters damage

I'm saying other items are gonna be far more useful on arti you retard.

Also something I know has been said a lot but in RoR2 I feel like I'm playing a build, not a character. I know on hits were massive in RoR as well but what character you're playing barely matters past the first rotation

i really really really hope Hotpoo will get such a SOUL track in RoR2.
hands down, the best song in RoR1 for me.

Feeling and context matters, user. Do you wanna be the dual-wielding, doing his job, just trying to survive Commando? Or the graceful, balletic Huntress? Perhaps the unflinching, adrenaline addicted Miner

Attached: Miner.jpg (1022x604, 135K)

Thats a given but given realistically theyll often be your best choice

Fuel cells, cube, speed and feathers. If you got that do whatever.

1200% damage on Stun with a shitton of backup mags isnt effective? try to play arti for once, dunce.
>muh fast
you WILL get some attack speed along the way.

Crit glasses are a flat 10% bonus to every characters damage.
They aren't any more or less effective because of firerate mathematically.
Although artificer actually benefits slightly more per pickup since if flamethrower crits each hit is a critical.

>Although artificer actually benefits slightly more per pickup since if flamethrower crits each hit is a critical.
I'm gonna miss proccing a million stickies like this and doing massive damage.

Best stage and best track. Hope they'll add it in RoR2.

>try to play arti for once
it's the only character I play retard, and I crit glasses are at the bottom of my priorities

I feel like Merc has personality in his design.

Honestly I'm always defending hopoo in these threads and saying people need to give them time, it's an early access game and that it will get better but the last update did not really support that
I don't really care if Rex is good or not, he feels really fucking boring to play

How do I stop getting filtered by Malachites? I unlocked Old Guillotine already but I’ve only seen one so far.

Yes, the artifacts are going to be lunar items. They've said so in their discord.

So there's not going to be mutators for the rounds?
I want the game to be more difficult reeee

Don't suppose you have a link to that? Not the same guy, just wondering. I wouldn't mind more lunar items though, they're pretty fun.

Why is ror discussion so full of retards projecting and assuming things? Really puts me off whenever I try to argue with some retard and they start greentexting shit I never said, and then some other retard starts larping as you and the whole discussion goes to shit, you guys are worse than trannies sometimes.

This is Yea Forums in a nutshell. They lack reading comprehension and reconstruct what was said in their retard brains into something they think you said. Basically Yea Forums is full of single digit IQ's and they will all dog pile on you. No use in arguing with braindead idiots user. Just keep shit to yourself and ignore them.

Yeah pretty much since I can't find any results. Who knows, maybe they changed their mind, I hope. We need some artifacts and a huge rework on how lunar items and the shop works.

Gotcha. Thanks anyway.

If they were just more lunar items why would they bother putting this on the menu?

Hotfix broke it.

Yep it's just normal artis and mercs now

I don't get it

Should've obeyed the warning bro

Friend told me of a really cool explanation of this. First two paragraphs, the item is talking to the character you play as, second two, to the player who already quit to menu after they unlocked the item in-game and went to check it in the logbook.
Whatever the case, it's pretty meta.

Brittle crown makes the crowdfunder absolutely broken, and I love it

mentions of deja vu are probably referencing to time loop
but "you play characters that have never lived" and "observers" makes me think of another 4th wall breaking shit that has became so common in the past years

it does and i love it too

The [observers] are most likely from the Planet's moon and the 'I' could be Providence.

Yeah, "I" is probably Providence. And if observers are from the moon, then this lore entry ties up really well with Brittle Crown lore. But third paragraph is just solid meta.

Is it true that you can play this game alone? I mean I know you technically can but is it fun that way?

Sucks on anyone that isn't Rex.

Since the Merc fix I've done a few runs alone and have had lots of fun. Doing Commando alone sounds fucking boring and difficult, however, in his current state.

Caps your healing per second to 10% of max HP.
I shouldn't need to tell you how crippling it is to have to wait 10 seconds to full heal in a game as fast paced as this.
Especially with oneshot protection only working over 90% health.

I played 150 hours alone and it's still fun,

HOST 1 PLS

I don't know, I can't imagine you regenerating so fast to heal in a second in early and mid game and past 90 minutes you're so OP it's pretty much irrelevant how fast you heal. I always avoided the flower but now I started to use it much more often because of Rex and so far it's not half bad. Really like it on Artificer too since her attack rate is slow for proc healing.

:(

art is subjective

I wish the death/obliterate screen showed what difficulty you were playing on

You probably heal faster than 5 seconds in mid game and it only gets faster the longer the game goes on. Corpseblossom halves that and then cripples it even worse the more you stack it. Given that the purpose of the item is to get more healing it is innately counterproductive to what you are trying to do with it.
Not to mention that you can no longer panic heal period once the item is picked up. Foreign fruit is no longer a safety net, bungus stops helping, huge burst procs of harvesters scythe are worthless. Unless you can avoid taking damage twice within a 10 second period forever it will eventually cause your run to end.

It is only good with several rejuvenation racks since those double the healing limit and not just the base value. If you can get enough racks going then you can turn all your healing into persistent overheal with corpseblossom, but that's so niche it's not even worth trying.

Maybe once the game has an end and people loop less it will be a stronger pick, but if you intend to loop more than twice I wouldn't recommend it.

He's way fucking easier in first loop. His laser doesn't instakill, the smaller swarms of enemies aren't godawful, and from then on out, every teleporter event has a giant tank to distract everything while you fight the boss. Always give it a shot. At worst you die 10 minutes in rather than 100 minutes in the run. It just takes some time because you'll have to re-light the beacons a couple times.

It's a memetic entity long dead that the description implies now lives in your (yes, your) subconcious. He desn't want you to understand because he doesn't want you to know he's there for whatever reason.
